Your Record One-Month Flight Activity
In a span of one month (give or take a few days), what is your record for flying activity?
My (soon to become relatively very low!) record is:
# of landings: 12
Actual Flown Miles (not accumulated, no 500-mile minimum, no premium bonus %, etc): ~23,000 miles (about 37000 kilometers, if I did my math right)
Fire away!

I routinely do more than 28,000 actual flight miles per month in long-haul flights. The most actual flight miles I've done in a month has to have exceeded 42k although I generally don't keep tract.

When I was doing west coast every week, it was 18-20K miles each month. The month I did a long weekend skiing in France was probably 27K or so miles. Again, I have co-workers who go to India twice a month, so I'm sure there are folks who have done 60-80K or more in a month.

In 2001, when oneWorld had its Six Continents promo, I did all six on weekends in July. (The July 4 holiday created a four-day weekend for Asia and Australia, and I had a head start on Africa through a business trip to Europe.) Total mileage was over 50,000, though I don't recall exactly.
The "month" of May 14-June 14 this year, i.e., right now, will be about 40,000. Just got back from San Diego and am packing for Australia.

A couple of months ago we hit a personal record within one calendar month of just over 29000 miles on 11 legs on separate flights from SEA to PVG, MUC and LGA. We've hit over 70,000 miles already for the year. These stats are all records for us, however...
I'm in awe (but probably not envy) of some of you for the miles you fly!

^^I went through and figured out that I maxed out at about 56k a few years back.

One April a couple of years ago, I flew sat-iah-nrt and back twice. Our daughter was living in Yokosuka and due to deliver our grandson. My wife wanted to be there for the big occasion. She had four weeks vacation, and I didn't have any. I voluntered 
to fly over with her, fly back home, and return in four weeks to fly back to the States with her. It worked out great. We got there on a Friday, our daughter took us to see Kamakura on Saturday, I left on Sunday, and she went into labor and delivered on Monday.

Within a calendar month about 60k flown miles (several times). Within 30 days, well over 70k flown miles. Heck last year did over 46k flown miles in just 7 crazy days and had several other longhaul flights within the previous 3 weeks.

I used to do 6 or 7 landings in an hour and a half.
Oh, wait, I think you meant flying commecial... Hmmm.. I dunno. I don't really keep track. It won't come close to being a lot, as I rarely need to connect.
